Frequently Asked Questions About Buffalo lor cheese

What is Buffalo lor cheese made from?

Buffalo lor cheese is a fresh, soft cheese made from buffalo milk or, in some traditional methods, whey left from cheesemaking. The exact method varies, so its moisture, saltiness and texture can differ between producers.

Is Buffalo lor cheese the same as ricotta?

No. Buffalo lor cheese and ricotta are both fresh, soft cheeses, but they are not identical products. Ricotta is traditionally made by reheating whey, while the ingredients and methods used for Buffalo lor cheese can vary.

What does Buffalo lor cheese taste and feel like?

Buffalo lor cheese usually has a mild, milky flavor and a soft, moist texture. Depending on how it is made, it may be creamy or slightly crumbly; a sharply sour smell or taste can indicate spoilage.

How do people traditionally eat Buffalo lor cheese?

Buffalo lor cheese is commonly eaten fresh, often with bread or as part of breakfast. You can also pair it with herbs, vegetables or a little honey, adjusting other salty ingredients to suit the cheese’s own saltiness.

Can Buffalo lor cheese be used in börek?

Yes, Buffalo lor cheese works well as a börek filling. If it is very wet, drain it first so it does not make the pastry soggy, then mix it with herbs or another filling ingredient before baking.

Can Buffalo lor cheese replace ricotta in cheesecake?

It can be used, but the result may be more moist or grainy than a cheesecake made with ricotta. Drain the Buffalo lor cheese well and blend it smooth before adding it to the filling.

How should Buffalo lor cheese be stored after opening?

Keep Buffalo lor cheese covered in the refrigerator and use a clean utensil each time you serve it. It is a fresh cheese, so use it soon after opening; discard it if you notice mold, an off smell or unusual discoloration.

Can Buffalo lor cheese be frozen?

Yes, Buffalo lor cheese can be frozen, but thawing may make it watery or grainy. It is usually better to use thawed cheese in cooked dishes such as börek or pasta than to serve it fresh.

Does Buffalo lor cheese need to be cooked before eating?

No, Buffalo lor cheese does not need cooking when it has been made and stored safely. Eat it fresh or add it to a dish; follow the storage instructions for packaged cheese and avoid cheese that has been left unrefrigerated.

Why is my Buffalo lor cheese watery?

Buffalo lor cheese can be watery because it is a moist fresh cheese or because liquid has separated during storage. Drain off excess liquid before using it in pastry; if it also smells sour or looks discolored, discard it.
